The latest beta of KDE's 3.2, beta 2, was released a few days ago. I installed the provided Fedora RPMs and had a look in this early pre-release version of the popular X11 desktop environment. Six screenshots are included. We look at both the strengths and the weaknesses of the DE.

That would be contrary to the freedesktop.org specifications which are trying to have the same config file/format for both gnome and kde menu.
I think Eugenia makes good points but...
On the first page I see many "new" features that are not new at all. Just to name a few:
-The kicker detail for example has been available since 3.1 I beleive. (with a GUI checkbox to set it in 3.1.2 I think). KDE 3.2 just made it a default.
-Someone allready mentioned the tabs in KFM
-Service menus have been here for ever, they might have added a GUI to customize it (haven't installed it yet). If that is the case it would seem ironic that Eugenia appreciated the new "bloat".
As was said above. KDE is nicely bloated: you get used to it really quickly. The only part where their is an emergency is the konqueror service menus.
